Tum CrneouITCr .-h followv,
og is a synopsis of the busines.s
b iposed ofin the 'eire it court
since our last report:
Aaevs. Andy Robertson and
enRobertson, Lohargede with.
'1 Asn-.-eotting fire to the ginthbuse
ha* g1e
agreement, and the presiding judge
ordered a mistrial to be tiuored in
the case and the jury discharged.
The jury lii tiis C:aeio stood five for
conviction and seven for acquittal
the former being the white jurors
and the latter the colored. The
action of the colored jurors in this
case was simply infamous. The
proof against the defendants was
both direct and circumstantial, and
was' perfectly conclusive of the
guilt of the accused. Yet the
colored jurors, in utter disregard of
the evidence and of their soloin
oath, obstinately refused to con
eider the facts proved, and would
not come to a verdict. When such
conduct as this is persisted in, it
is not surprising that some people
object to having negroes on juries.
And it is not surprising that the
sufferers should be inclined to coin
plain that there is no romedy, in
side the law, for such outrages as
that cominitte:l by the defend:.nts
in this case. The case will have to
be tried over again at the Juno
term of court.
State vs. Edward L. Lumpkin,
indicted for nurdedr. The defendant
was charged with the felonious
killing of Henry 3oulware, co,ore;d,
in December last. Messrs. McCants
& Douglass and Jas. H. Rion ap
peared for the defence. After
several challenges, the following
jury, all white, was empaneled :
James R. Haavey (foreman), G. B.
Pettigrew, Joseph McMeekin, J. H.
Brice, Benjamin F. Lyles, John D.
Yongue, Robert M. Aiken, John R
Martin, Mansel Hollis, G. B. Pear
son, J. T. McCullough and W. B.
Murray. The defendant claimed
that the killing was in soif-defence,
and his case was clearly ahd con
clusively made out. The jury
promptly rendered a verdict of
acquittal, and the accused was
discharged.
State vs. Robert McCarley, in
dicted for mali cious trespass-A.
M. Mackey for defendant. Verdict
-Not guilty.
State vs. Lige Robertson, indicted
for burglary. This defendant was
charged with stealing the watch
and some money of Mr. Jno. D.
McCarley in January, 1876. The
prisoner appeared in his own
behalf. Vrdict-Guilty.
State vs. Gabe Ohisolm, UJriah
Ch isohn and Gaines Jordan, in diected
fo burglary. The doefendan ts were
charged with entering a building of
one Charles Bird, colored, in this
county, and stealing therefrom
a'out six hundred pounds of seed
cotton. M~r. Mackey appeared for
